removing spaces between images on Welcome Wide section

Wes,

You said “It’s not supposed to show up if you’re not using any of those 3 widgets.”

I’m not using those widgets yet the Welcome Features div/section is still showing up.

How can I get rid of the Welcome Features div/section?

Another point for the Forum is whether it is really worth allowing members to reply privately, because some comments can be very useful to others with similar problems and private replies make it difficult to follow the thread?

Thanks

The private replies don’t show up because they are supposed to be a completely private message. I’m using a plugin (by Pippin Williamson) which adds this feature to bbPress – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/

The plugin is designed that way so (if a user adds a link here in the forum that they are not ready to share publicly, or a login (username/password) for a moderator to login and make adjustments to their site) other users won’t be able to see it. This would prevent their sensitive information from getting out there and becoming public.

However, I do think that users should only use the private reply option if they are posting something private….if it is basic information/solutions that can possibly help other users then I think they should definitely share that solution publicly instead of posting every comment as a Private Reply. As you mentioned, this helps us all as a Community.

Did you get everything working? If not, do you have a link so I can take a look?

Thanks, I just figured out what was missing. If you look in your home.php file in the Welcome section you’ll see a section that looks like this –

/**
 * Display widget content for the "Welcome-wide", "Welcome Feature 1", "Welcome Feature 2", and "Welcome Feature 3" sections.
 *
 */
function epik_home_loop_helper_welcome() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-3' ) ) {

		echo '<div class="welcome">';
		
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-wide', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-wide"><div class="wrap">',
				'after' => '</div></div>',
			) );
			
		echo '<div class="welcome-features"><div class="wrap">';
			
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-1', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-1">',
				'after' => '</div>',
			) );
			
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-2', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-2">',
				'after' => '</div>',
			) );
			
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-3', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-3">',
				'after' => '</div>',
			) );				
		
		echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end .welcome-features --></div><!-- end .welcome -->';

	}
		
}

Replace that entire section with the following code –

/**
 * Display widget content for the "Welcome-wide", "Welcome Feature 1", "Welcome Feature 2", and "Welcome Feature 3" sections.
 *
 */
function epik_home_loop_helper_welcome() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-3' ) ) {

		echo '<div class="welcome">';
		
		if ( is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-wide' ) ) {
		
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-wide', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-wide"><div class="wrap">',
				'after' => '</div></div>',
			) );
			
		}
			
		if ( is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-3' ) ) {
			
		echo '<div class="welcome-features"><div class="wrap">';
			
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-1', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-1">',
				'after' => '</div>',
			) );
			
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-2', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-2">',
				'after' => '</div>',
			) );
			
			genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-3', array(
				'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-3">',
				'after' => '</div>',
			) );				
		
		echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end .welcome-features -->';
		
		}
		
		echo '</div><!-- end .welcome -->';

	}
		
}

I’ll make sure and add this in the next update. Thanks for letting me know.

Sounds like a div is either missing or out of place.

Can you try the 2nd code I posted above one more time, and if it doesn’t work I can take a closer look to see what’s going on. I have it updated on a local install and it seems to be working on my end.

You’re Welcome!
